Feb 28, 2010 - End of Florida Trip - Home Again

Stayed at the Comfort Inn Hall of Fame in Canton OH last night. Much nicer than last night’s stay, it was quiet and comfortable. Plus it was about 2/3 the cost of yesterday, since yesterday I’m sure we paid extra for the "free" airport shuttle service. Flurries last night, but nothing to write home about. Oh wait, I just did, didn’t I?
 
Other than some lake effect snow from Lake Erie along the Ohio Turnpike, there really wasn’t much snow at all today. We’ve only got maybe 3 or 4 inches left here at home, but it took us several hours to shovel/blow our way into the driveway. We’ve had some warm weather the last week, and the snow in the driveway was pretty dense and very heavy, like shoveling wet clay.
 
In the entire month we did not see another rPod, but we did see two T@B campers, both going the other way on the xway. As expected, gas mileage was worse on the way home than on the way down, 10.5 MPG vs. 12 MPG. On the way down we took I-75, on the way back we took I-77. There was way more mountain driving on the way home, plus we had some pretty strong winds while coming home through the mountains. They had "high wind warnings" in the VA and WV mountains on the way home. So the difference was not that surprising.
 
Thanks for following along on our trip. Hope to do it again soon.
